Gus little incident occurred upon the latter occasion As
the Emperor going TO his afternoon drive In the

of the palace why such unusual and gayly dressed
crowd thrOnged the streets
"They go to see the Shah of Persia your Majesty"
the answer.
"Ah, then also must put on gaia attire the Emperor
remarked smiling, and fOrthw took from table his
Prussian hect replacing with It's steel plating the mil
itary cloth which he had before placed his head
When a few hours later he was brought back 20 tho
palace, wounded and bleeding the helmet dented in
several places where the mixed shot used by N0ng had
struck against the metal Had the unrcsisng cloth been
there instead. who tell how different the ending OF
the tragedy might have been
Two or three days after the attempted assassination.
the old monarch asked TO the clothes he had worn on
that fatal day Looking at the military cape. rddled
with shot and the dents in the eagle capped helmet he
turned to those standing by his bedside and with tears in
his said pointing TO the marks or the bullets:
Thank God 1t was not OF my own Berlin men who

first floor Is used entirely for manacs and condemned
persons The right side has borne for many years the
title OF Murderers' Row. Padded cells for persons
afflicted with hondcidal manias, hospital cell where
sick prisoners treated and pententiary cell for
disciplinary occupy the rest OF the hoor On the
